The length of time does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with documents. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait till the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documentation.

A case may take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a number of problems need to be resolved.

A variety of cases are fixed at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

On the occasion that your spouse hesitates to settle in a reasonable manner, more complicated divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or perhaps longer to be finalized.

What is the distinction between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Cherokee County?

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

How come my divorce doesn't qualify under your flat-fee prices?

If your divorce consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice. It is challenging to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take substantially longer to finish.
